Alright, here are examples, new and old, of people who do something in bad taste:
1. “Took a selfie with my gran at her funeral trying to imagine the face she’d pull if she was there! Love you!” said another boy.
President Obama even starred in his own funeral selfie, caught sidling up to Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and British Prime Minister David Cameron for a quick shot at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service.
But etiquette experts warn taking selfies during somber occasions are in bad taste.
“I would say they’re a don’t,” Jacqueline Whitmore, founder of The Protocol School of Palm Beach, told the Daily News.
“Having respect for those who have passed and also for the family, I think that’s important. I wouldn’t advise anyone, including heads of states, to take selfies at a funeral.”
Whitmore says it’s OK to pose for a pic before or after the ceremony, but cellphones should definitely be off during the service.
Patricia Fitzpatrick, founder of the Etiquette School of New York, agrees.
“There is a time and a place for everything, and funerals or solemn occasions are not the time to take pictures of oneself to post on social media sites,” she said.
